Over the moon!!

OMG!
A very sweet lady traveling from Massachusetts popped into Christie's Quilting Boutique while I was there. She came in to grab a Row by Row pattern and kit.
Jennifer Paganelli happened to visiting as it is "I Love Fabric Day" (and yes this is a national holiday at least in every quilt shop!!) Not only did she purchase the last Miss Connecticut 2014 kits but she asked Jennifer to sign her pattern and then she asked me too!! I was asked for an autograph!!
Sitting her still tickled pink!!

Almost done -

Almost done if you count getting to the quilting stage almost.
Sadly you will have to wait to see it - it will go public soon but I promised to keep it a secret until later.
I have had all the fun to playing with Denyse Schmidt's new fabric line Hadley along side my fellow quilters from the Southern Connecticut Modern Quilt Guild. Through the generosity of players I got leftovers!! (my secret favorite kind) A little of this solid and a few of that and I have a quilt top! Now basted and heavy with pins.
And quilt . . .

Here is a teaser of how I put it together - I tried really, really hard not to edit but just pull. But I will fess up to a few edits - not many but a few. Had a habit of pulling the fabric I just used in a different size strip.


Ready to make another quilt this way - kept the bags just in case!
